My prediction is this year’s Kool-Aid miss is Caldwell

The "Hudson Card Kai Money Troy Omeire Pre-Season reverse-Gaskamp Award"? I like it.

Is Brandon baker not working at RT? This entire freshman class is straight legit dogs. 

I think the point is that Brooks is taking Cojoe's spot as 2nd string RT.  Baker is the current starter

That paragraph doesn't make much sense. What did we learn?

In my head it meant that our WRs are going to score a bazillion TDs this year.

Early notes from IT

Spoiler

The elephant in the room

Injuries are always the greatest concern this time of year but as Steve Sarkisiansays, you have to practice football to get good at football. Two important players needed help off the field—senior defensive tackle Cole Brevard and offensive tackle Nick Brooks. 

Brevard has been running second-team but is expected to play a considerable amount this season. The very talented Brooks became even more important this season when fellow offensive tackle Andre Cojoe was lost for the year with a knee injury.

On to better news

It wasn’t a perfect day for QB1 but Arch Manning to Ryan Wingo was on fire today. By our count the duo connected for three touchdowns. One was a red zone TD against up-and-coming Kobe Black.

Parker Livingtone also had a good day with two catches that went for over 20 yards apiece. On one play, each read the same coverage and made the proper adjustment and hit a nice gain.

Wingo and Livingstone were Manning’s two favorite targets on the day.

More skill player notes

The starting wide receivers were Wingo, DeAndre Moore, and Livingstone. Tre Wisner and CJ Baxter were de facto ones. Baxter had a touchdown on 3rd and goal. Baxter ran hard. No knee brace and no green jersey, just quick whistles when he carried. 

IT heard Aaron Butler gets open with ease but is struggling to convert the play. 

We’re not sure if Emmett Mosley participated. 

Kaliq Lockett had some time with the ones. We’ve been hearing his name more.

Defensive back notes

Manny Muhammad had a great day. Receivers were struggling to get separation for him and he was very active at the line of scrimmage.

Michael Taaffe was in the green non-contact jersey. Could be a sign of his importance, could be a sign he’s playing through something.

Taaffe and Jelani McDonald rotated between safety and Star (nickel) with Derek Williams at the other safety. McDonald got the first series at Star. Could our long held offseason speculation be rounding into form? We’ll have to keep monitoring.

Random

Brandon Baker had issues with penalties. I’m sure it doesn’t help that he had Colin Simmons across from him.

Matthew Caldwell led a nice drive but we need more context. Who was he going against?

KJ Lacey had a nice connection to Daylan McCutcheon. At least one of their hookups went for 6.

Mason Shipley missed one FG. I think it was a long one, though.

OTF added an update that said both walked off the field under their own power and Brevard came back in later.

Is he related to the WR Shipley who singlehandedly kept you in the Rose Bowl game after Colt went down?  That fucker was money. Texas PK was damn good that night.  If Squints doesn’t get blind sided and fumble, Texas was one long Shipley catch and a FG away from sending the game to OT.

Bobby Burton 

Then they typically go 1s vs 2s to start things off before moving to 1s vs 1s and 2s vs 2s, each in multiple eight-play spurts. After that, it’s time for 1s vs 1s and 2s vs 2s.

 

I had to read that a few times. I think this is what he's saying:

Start with 1s vs 2s.

Move on to 1s vs 1s and 2s vs 2s.

Only after that does Sark change it up and go with even more of 1s vs 1s and 2s vs 2s.

UPDATE (1:15 pm CT) - A source said Brooks was walking around after the scrimmage and “looked OK.”

 

Notes from the Texas Longhorns first scrimmage of training camp VIP

ChipBrown247
 

AUSTIN, Texas — Here are some notes from the Texas Longhorns' first significant scrimmage of training camp on Saturday.

The scrimmage was closed to the public, but Horns247 tracked down a few sources who were able to observe the scrimmage.

Here's what those sources said:

— Freshman offensive tackle Nick Brooks, who has been working at right tackle in the wake of Andre Cojoe's season-ending injury, left the scrimmage with what appeared to be a right leg injury. UPDATE (1:15 pm CT) - A source said Brooks was walking around after the scrimmage and “looked OK.”

— The defense got a lot of push up front with senior defensive end Ethan Burke batting a couple passes.

— One source said, "The defensive line is the real deal. There was a lot of pressure on the quarterbacks - so much so that they kind of let it play out sometimes. The front seven dominated."

— Arch Manning had a touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo, who had a good showing on Saturday as well as Parker Livingstone. "Arch missed a couple passes high," because he was under pressure, one source said.

— Quarterback Trey Owens had a good performance, connecting with Ryan Niblett, Aaron Butler and walk-on Rett Anderson in the passing game. "Owens was sharp with the ball and looked good."

— Quarterback "KJ" Karle Lacey scrambled for a TD late in the scrimmage.

— All of the team's top four quarterbacks - Manning, Owens, Matthew Caldwell and Lacey - connected on passes with tight ends. One source said the tight ends "were probably the best group - top to bottom - today."

—Manning ran with the No. 1 offense. Owens and Caldwell split reps with the No. 2 offense, and Caldwell and Lacey split reps with the No. 3 offense.

— Quintrevion Wisner, Christian Clark and CJ Baxter all had at least one impressive run.

Hopefully a 60 yarder...

Damn, who was guarding Wingo if he was going off like that?

I mean, now he 1- has fluids in his body and 2- can see the ball.
He’s a new beast!

Hopefully, the OL does better as fall camp progresses. At least they're cutting their teeth against a legit front seven.

Good stuff. Hoping Niblett and Butler make some noise this season and showcase their speed on the field.

Probably some good-family walk-on from a Houston private school named Kayden or Carson.

Hey fuck you for this. 

We all know our defense will be one of the tops on the country. If this offense can move the ball in any manor against them. Everyone is fucked. Super fucked

Sure.  They're all practicing snake handlers!

OTF is saying wait and see on Brooks. Information will have to come from the SID. Super awesome. 

That’s not good. Those guy are super plugged in and also don’t put stuff out there ahead of the staff. Bad omen.
